Then why is oxalic acid a tooth’s best friend and (supposedly) a kidney’s worst enemy?

70-80% of kidney stones are composed of calcium oxalate. Did you read my blog entry “Calcium (Too Much Is Toxic or Abuse)”?

By the 1940s, most dentists knew fluoride had little to do with tooth enamelization (or re-enamelization), whereas oxalic acid had lots to do with it.

(Is this another example of today’s “medical amnesia”?)

Most dentists didn’t know the role of vanadium and L-tryptophan in the process, but that’s another story for another day.

Oxalic acid and oxalates are friends to both teeth and kidneys when you learn to work with the alchemical (“all the chemistry”) similarities between oxalic acid, ascorbic acid, dehydroascorbic acid (DHA), and semi-dehydroascorbic acid (SDA).

Oxalic acid is a threat to those who don’t grasp the relevance of the time context (TAI MING) of oxalate-rich enamel protectors like coffee, cocoa, spinach, rhubarb, parsley, chives, purslane, amaranth, strawberries, turnips, etc. (Do you know WHEN to eat these foods?)

Oxalic acid is also a threat to tobacco smokers and drug abusers (including pharmaceutical drugs) and those having serious metabolic disorders like diabetes or cancer.

1. Robert Von Sarbacker, (podcast available on oneradionetwork), a highly charismatic and knowledgeble health advisor, suggest drinking a mix of beet juice and asparagus juice, following it by hard apples and carrots to rejuvenate body, remove parasites, remove bacteria, candida and to generally clense and detoxify liver.

Beets have lots of oxalic acid, while asparagus has lots of asparagilic acid (which I beleive is a potent acid that stays strong until it’s peed out) The poit is, asparagilic acid prevents oxalic from beets to produce kidney stones.

Since both vegetables are evening foods, I have been doing it at 9-10PM and liked the results a lot.

Phytic acid, is a central topic of Ramiel Nagels, (interview also avialabel on Patricks podcasts) book is the fact that whole grains are highly detrimental and leech minerals out of body and are a primary cause of dental caries. His book is full of scientific references. I read it. He also refers to pre-world War II research of Dr.May Mellanby and Dr. J.D. Boyd who cured “diabetic children’s decayed teeth by designing a grain-free diet”.

“.. Meanwhile in two other feeding experiments by Dr. Mellanby a low fat-soluble vitamin A and D dient with the addition of ½ to 1 cup of oatmeal (high phytic content) produced an average of six new cavities per child during the trial period. Their preexisting cavities did not heal in any way. a diet with less oatmeal and some fat-soluble vitamies produced on average of four and a half new cavities per child with a few of the preexisting cavities healing during the experiment..” quoted from Nagel’s book.

Since reading Nagel’s book, I became preplexed. I used to do a lot of wheat and rye sprouts before, not after this book. Even though you say that IP6 is good against cancer, I am still very cautious about phytic acid since cancer seems distant and dental desease is more prevalent and apparent, even in children.

Atom, do you have any references or examples to support your claims about beneficial nature of the phytic acid and the fact that it does not do harm to teeth as Rami Nagel claims? Appreciate your efforts!

I have a question concerning cacao and the other oxalic-containing foods. Would they all fall into the same time period or, would something like cacao, which could be above 4 ft, be for a different time period? I specifically mention cacao, because, of the foods you list, that and parsley are the ones I consume the most of. Thank you.
